22.18.1 Problem

You have some pages that contain indexes of downloadable files. Apache displays your directories like this, chopping off the filenames:

Parent Directory 27-Jul-2004 09:39 - libpam-smbpass_3.0.5..> 27-Jul-2004 09:17 298k libsmbclient-dev_3.0..> 27-Jul-2004 09:17 581k libsmbclient_3.0.5-1..> 27-Jul-2004 09:17 467k

How can you make it show the entire filename?

22.18.2 Solution

In httpd.conf, find:

# IndexOptions: Controls the appearance of server-generated directory # listings. IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort

and add the NameWidth directive:

IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort NameWidth=*

Using the asterisk tells it to expand to the width of the longest filename. You might want to set a limit of something like 40 characters, to keep it readable in case a very long filename slips in:

IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort NameWidth=40

22.18.3 Discussion

You can also configure this for individual virtual hosts; VirtualHost directives override the global directives.
